Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: A non-material/non-substantive change in burden is being requested for this information collection due to an increase in the number CDLIS records that need to be kept (from 11.3 million to 12.2 million). However, of these new 12.2 million records, approximately 10 percent (or 1, 220,000)have been downgraded or are no longer required to be kept because these records include drivers with expired CDLs, drivers who have been disqualified for life, drivers who are deceased, etc. Thus, the new total number of "active" records is 10.98 million, reflecting an overall decrease.
